⸋ $575 for the entire convention Tuesday evening - Saturday evening (fee includes meal, speakers, and

all convention-specific events each day).
• Collegiate Member Registration Fees
⸋ $125 per day for one, two, or three days (fee includes meal, speakers, and all convention-specific
events that calendar day).
⸋ $400 for the entire convention Tuesday evening - Saturday evening (fee includes meal, speakers, and
all convention-specific events each day).
• Non-Member Registration Fees
⸋ $200 per day for one, two, or three days (fee includes meal, speakers, and all convention-specific

⸋ $650 for the entire convention Tuesday evening - Saturday evening (fee includes meal, speakers, and
all convention-specific events each day).
Context of these actions: The registration fees for international events are approved by the Administrative
Board and set with careful consideration given to estimated costs, as well as the ability of members to afford
participation. Analysis of past registration fees including meal events, estimated fees for speakers, AV, and
other expenses, and contractual obligations led to the conclusion that a new fee structure was needed in
order to maintain affordability, meet contractual obligations, and provide the most enjoyable and productive

experience for members. All fees include all events occurring and convention-specific meal events during the
time period purchased. Per Constitution, all fees increase by 50% prior to the opening day of the convention.

5. Approved motions related to Society Headquarters personnel following executive session of the board:
• Approved the Headquarters Organization Chart.
• Approved a 4% Cost-of-Living Adjustment for Headquarters employees effective the first full pay period
in 2024.
• Accepted the recommendations of the Performance Appraisal Team.
• Accepted with deepest regret the retirement of Executive Director Nita Scott, effective end of August

2024.
Context of these actions: The Administrative Board is charged with oversight of the Headquarters office
facilities and staff. Although the Executive Director manages staff, operations, and office facilities directly, the
Board is responsible to approve the Headquarters organization chart and salary guide and has a more direct
role in the management of the director-level positions via the Performance Appraisal Team, a committee of
the Administrative Board.

6. Recommended that the Executive Board approve the nomination of Tsipi Ben Haim for International Honorary
Membership.
Context of this action: The Administrative Board reviews nominations for international honorary membership
at the recommendation of the International Membership Committee. The Executive Board is authorized to
approve the invitation to membership.
